Scale
Base Ingredients
- 6 Strawberry Pop Tarts
- 1 tube Decorating Icing
- Halloween Candy (for decorating, quantity as desired)
Instructions
- Prepare workspace: Lay out a piece of parchment paper on a flat surface to assemble the gingerbread house and prevent sticking.
- Place base Pop Tarts: Vertically place 1 Pop Tart down as the front wall. Then, lay another Pop Tart to the left and to the right of it lining them up on the bottom edges to form the side walls.
- Cut front wall: Using a knife, find the center of the top edge of the vertically placed Pop Tart and cut down, creating angled edges that align perfectly with the top edges of the side Pop Tarts.
- Create roof pieces: Lay the cut piece on top of the remaining uncut Pop Tart and cut along the pointed top so that the shape matches the slope of a roof.
- Assemble house structure: Reposition the cut Pop Tart pieces to form a house shape, placing the pointed Pop Tarts on the ends to simulate roofs.
- Glue walls: Use the decorating icing to ‘glue’ all walls together, ensuring the structure is stable. Wait for the icing to set before proceeding.
- Attach roof: Once the walls have set, ‘glue’ the roof pieces on top with icing, pressing gently to secure and allow drying.
- Decorate: After all edges have fully dried, begin ‘gluing’ Halloween candy over the house with decorating icing as desired to create a festive look.
Notes
- Use a serrated knife for cleaner cuts through the Pop Tarts.
- Allow sufficient drying time for the icing to hold pieces securely.
- Customize decorations with any holiday candy or edible decorations.
- Store completed gingerbread house in a cool, dry place to keep Pop Tarts crisp.
- This recipe is best enjoyed fresh as Pop Tarts may become soft over time due to moisture from icing or candy.
